Everything south of the Pripyat Marshes is below minimums in supply and must stop their advance. The Germans must stop the Red Army soon in front of Berlin or the South of Russia will not need any further activity. All the rail repair units are north of the Pripyat.

We ran into a bug problem that might fix itself. I used a Soviet Offensive Chet #1 the turn before mud which functioned normally, However, when mud came the Soviet shock stayed very elevated at 120 instead of 65 for all mud turns. We stopped any attacks or offensive action to see if shock returns to normal when the mud ends. We did minimal activity and sent the files back and forth through the mud turns. The first non mud turn is on the next turn. If it returns to normal we will continue, if it does not then the scenario must end here on turn 92. I thought we would find out before another posting since nothing has moved. I should get the results from Willie tomorrow.

It is now the correct 100 for a non mud turn. The Axis shock is also no longer 60. It is now 120 which is correct for now.

Thank you for reporting this.

I will look into it.

Status: offline 		T101 6/7/42 This picture shows a closer view of the front in the South. The main front is dug in on both sides for the most part. To open things up I am moving into the swamp area. The German 42 shock affects will start soon which will force the Red Army on to the defensive for a while.

To prepare I have pulled back valuable units that I can't afford to lose in the Axis shock effects. There will be an operational pause until the Axis shock effects are over. That can start at any time. The system does not allow my screen shots at this time, maybe later.

Status: offline 		I was curious about how many trucks the Axis (and or the Red Army) has at different times during the scenario..in RL they both had a chronic shortage in 41-42 but in TOAW trucks do not break down (unless hit of course)...curious about how the scenario deals with them :).

Status: offline 		Hi governato I have a screen shot showing the transport equipment for the Red Army. There is no shortage of trucks as shown, however, most of the transport duties are by horse. I have seen infantry units reduced to a movement of only 1 hex per turn due to shortage of horses. They must wait until more horses are delivered to be available to enter battle. I have tried to shield the artillery and motorized units from excessive losses. The infantry units bear the bulk of the losses and the shortage of horses.
